I work part time three days a week, i have been there over a year. I am now feeling trapped, under valued and feel taken advantage of.
i work every weekend and cover my boss when shes on holiday or needing extra help. There is only three of us in a team and my boss is in a relationship with the other team member which means he gets away with murder and basicly gets to do as he wants.
me on the other hand gets pulled up over the pettiest of things, this morning i had a text at 6.30 this morning on my day off stating all the things she wasn't happy with even though it was so petty. I have so much to do in so little time at work and i find myself under a lot of stress trying to get tasks done, there is far too much work load and ive told her this.
i want to leave. I wish i could just walk out but i cant, i need the money. I am sick of working for my boss, she does nothing but talk about people behind their backs including mine.
i need to find another job.

Well basically you need to focus on finding another job. You could also meet with her and say you understand if she wants to raise concerns with you about your work, but you would prefer she did so when you are actually at work, rather than texting you on your day off.

If your contract doesn't say you are expected to work extra hours, then you might want to not do that any more, although presumably there are financial implications for you.

But if you can't just walk out, and you feel the situation is unlikely to improve, you need to concentrate on finding something else.

I would put all my efforts into finding something else and not even waste energy addressing issues in your current job. If they are in a relationship you are fighting a losing battle.

Ive had another text and a phone call so i texted her back and said i was busy but i am sorry things aren't up to her standard and that im just rubbish at my job. I shouldn't have said that and its not true, i snapped. I am so stressed, its ruined my whole day and i am quite an anxious person anyway so this just doesn't help.
im going to start applying for jobs rather than just looking. I also hate the fact that any issue she has with me will get passed on to her boyfriend so everyone knows my business.
utterly p###ed off!

It sounds like anyone working in this situation is going to experience the same as you OP, and will make the same decision to leave. Start applying for jobs, just doing so will make you feel better.

The past two supervisors before me walked out without notice, now i can see why. She wants me to pop in for a chat tomorrow to straighten things out and make sure we are both on the same page. Regardless my mind has been made up, it has for a while. Thankyou for the replies it really has helped!!
